Shocking Monkey Theory from The White Lotus Finale Will Leave You Speechless!

BBG News

The final episode of ‘The White Lotus’ Season 3 was mostly well-received, even though some viewers had minor issues with character development. Many people are glad that some outlandish theories about the season didn’t materialize. One of these unusual theories, which actress Aimee Lou Wood found the “strangest,” involves the monkeys.

In simpler terms,

The actress discussed with Entertainment Weekly an unusual idea about a monkey possibly playing a significant role in one of the final scene’s highlights during the season. For those who aren’t aware, let me share her version of events.

Incredibly fascinating was the notion that some folks believed it was a monkey who wielded the gun during the shootout. It was as if they were questioning, “Why else would the camera keep focusing on the monkeys in the trees?” Indeed, many seemed to exclaim, “Oh, of course! [Creator] Mike [White] is a genius!” Truly, that’s amazing!

To be honest, I was among the select individuals who strongly believed this theory held merit. There were numerous instances where we captured the monkeys on film, and that weapon seemed to be circulating quite frequently among us.

After considering various possibilities, I eventually favored the idea that multiple shooters were involved, which accounted for the scattered bursts of gunfire in the initial scene. While a surprising twist involving a monkey brandishing a firearm might have been intriguing, I believe our final product was far superior to such an option.

Generally speaking, actors from TV shows usually can’t comment on spoilers because revealing anything, even if it’s untrue, eliminates one possibility and guides fans towards the truth before they get to see it themselves on the screen.

Absolutely, actors sometimes don’t adhere strictly to the rules. As Aimee Lou Wood mentioned, one of her fellow actors felt compelled to debunk the “shooting the monkey” theory after encountering it frequently.

It seems Michelle Monaghan chose to ignore the rumor altogether. Her response was something along the lines of, “That’s completely untrue. It’s just not accurate.

Michelle Monaghan’s decision to reject the monkey theory may not have been a significant gamble, considering it left unforeseen twists and turns in its wake. Had she continued to support this idea, it might have distracted viewers from the Season 3 drama, which Jason Isaacs later expressed regret for introducing.

Life continues as usual, and undoubtedly, other programs will capture audience attention in the 2025 TV lineup, diverting focus from past events. However, it’s quite amusing to note that while a certain theory didn’t pan out in “The White Lotus”, a service monkey armed with a gun turned out to be pivotal in the series finale of “The Righteous Gemstones” (airing right after “The White Lotus”). Honestly, what are the chances of such an occurrence, particularly when the shows were airing concurrently? It was a stunning coincidence, and one that I believe was underestimated at the time.

Consider giving “The White Lotus” Season 3 a watch on Max, though do try not to focus overly on the sequences involving numerous monkeys. With Season 4 yet to arrive, this could be an ideal moment for those eager for a refresher to catch up or revisit the series.
